The two women who were abducted at the Avon Wal-Mart and later repeatedly raped have filed a lawsuit against the retail giant that alleges the company failed to intervene and call police after a man kidnapped them at gunpoint.

The complaint was filed Wednesday, a day before Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry announced a litany of charges against the suspect. Michael Parrish, 37, Indianapolis, is accused of raping those two women and three others over a two-day period in early February. The boyfriend of one of the two women was beaten.
